Warm temperatures and humidity levels promote their lifecycle. Additionally, standing water in mangroves and urban areas near the beach contributes to their proliferation. Key influencers include:

Seasonal rainfall patterns
Local vegetation density
Human activity creating stagnant water

Understanding these helps locals and visitors implement better control measures. For more on regional climate effects, visit the Peruvian Meteorological Service.
